It was a clear, winter night, and the moon was full, when Santa and his reindeer took flight. This silhouette is from the Hearts Come Home stamp set.
The winter night began with a Night of Navy card base. The full moon was cut with a Layering Circles die from watercolor paper, and Santa’s silhouette was stamped in Basic Black ink. The row of Whisper White homes was cut using the Hometown Greetings die. “Merry Christmas” was from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I don’t know what I’d do without these tiny sentiments!
This card was so quick and easy, it’s a definite contender for the 125 cards I’ll be needing to send at Christmas time. I even had time to cover the envelope flap in a starry sky.
Speaking of Santa taking flight, it just so happens that the theme of this week’s Less Is More challenge is “take flight.”
There is also a Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers, and anything goes. I have to admit, my inspiration for this card was from these two challenges.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and taking a Christmas flight with me!

Wonderful card. Love that moon – so bright in the dark sky, and the silhouette of Santa and his sleigh. Love the village die cuts too. Lovely composition. Thanks for linking up and playing with us at Happy Little Stampers September Christmas Challenge.
Thank you Stephanie! I’m discovering that Happy Little Stampers has some great challenges, something for everyone!
So clean and crisp, and I love how you’ve used stylish navy which looks great against the gentle yellow of the moon.

I appreciate your comments, Ina! Thank you for taking the time!
Simply classy elegance Su, I almost went with the santa and sleigh myself – love how you’ve used the dark card base then a circle of ‘sunny-coloured moon’ to showcase the silhouette of Santa. The die-cut row of houses is so elegant in the foreground too. A great idea and a super CAS card. Thanks for playing along at Less is More this week
Thank you, Sarah! I’m so glad you like it!
